Recycling

Old printer cartridges

Send your old printer cartridges and mobile phones to recycle4charity.co.uk and select Animal Free Research UK as the charity to benefit. Call or email us for envelopes in which to send your goods.

Please note that currently they can only accept Cannon, Dell, HP, Lexmark and some Brother and Samsung Inkjet cartridges. They do not accept Epson or Kodak cartridges.

If you work for a large organisation, why not have a box installed in which to collect all the used printer cartridges?

Unwanted banknotes & jewellery

You can donate all your broken and unwanted jewellery to raise money for Animal Free Research UK. If you have any gold, silver, odd earrings, broken chains, costume jewellery and watches, you can recycle them at no cost to you whilst making money for us.

You can also donate any unwanted banknotes from ANY country of any age, so all of those obsolete pre-euro notes are a perfect start!

Our partners at Recycling for Good Causes will reuse and recycle the jewellery and banknotes, giving the proceeds to Animal Free Research UK, saving precious raw materials at the same time.

If you would like to send your jewellery and banknote recycling to us pop your items into your own envelope or jiffy bag no larger than a size A5 envelope and post free of charge to:-
